“I’ve been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her
groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don’t know the color
of her eyes or what they look like when she’s scared. But I will.” Born to a prominent
Chicago judge and his stifled socialite wife, Mia Dennett moves against the grain as a
young inner-city art teacher. One night, Mia enters a bar to meet her on-again,
off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn’t show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic
stranger. With his smooth moves and modest wit, at first Colin Thatcher seems like a
safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of
Mia’s life. Colin’s job was to abduct Mia as part of a wild extortion plot and deliver
her to his employers. But the plan takes an unexpected turn when Colin suddenly decides
to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota, evading the police and his deadly
superiors. Mia’s mother, Eve, and detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find
them, but no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause
this family’s world to shatter. An addictively suspenseful and tautly written thriller,
The Good Girl is a propulsive debut that reveals how even in the perfect family, nothing
is as it seems….
